STATES.

San Francisco Bulletin: If Washing
ton and Montana should be admitted at
the present session Of Congress, the num-
Der O. States will be increased to forty.
An even number of States might lead to
a curious complication, but the chance IS
very remote. The Constitution provides
that for the election of President a ma
iority Of the Electoral College is neces-
sary. If no candidate receives q ma.
iority the election OF President devolves
on the House. In that case a majority
of the States is necessary to a choice.
But each State has but one vote. With
an even number of States there is q
chance for a tie Of States-that is to say,
twenty States for one candidate and
twenty for another. What happens IN
that case is thus set forth in the Consti'
tuition: "And if the House of Repre-.
sentatives shall not choose a President,
whenever the right OF choice shall dc.
yolve on them, before the 4th OF March
next following, then the Vice President
shall act as President, as in case OF the
death or other constitutional disability
of the President" But as parties are
now conducted, it would be impossible
for q Vice President to have more
electoral votes than q President. Ii
there was a failure to elect a President
there would also be a failure to elect a
Vice President. In this case the Senate
comes in and elects a Vice President, not
q President pro tenn, and becomes the
President on the failure of the House to
name q President. 1t is not the new
House or Senate which performs these
duties, but those in existence at the time
the Presidential election was held. 1t is
the House and Senate just chosen that
would perform that function in 1889, IL
there should be a failure to elect on the
part of the people. But no complication
OF this nature--that is to say, the failure
OF the House to choose a President when
that duty devolved on it, has ever oc,
Cured, though we have had an ever
number of States for long periods. In
fact the number at present is even, or 80.
But we started with an odd number-l3.
Only 10 States, however, voted at the
first election. Since the foundation OF
the Government we have been under the
dominion of an even number of States
for sixty.two years. The failures to
elect by the people occurred when even
numbers existed-that is, once when
there were l6 States and a second time
when there were "a.

Speaking of the case Of q negro jury
man who was fed in a caste restaurant in
Little Rock, the Cleveland Gazette says
"The Capital restaurant finally sur
rendered, and for the first time a negro
enjoyed his repast q. the leading hotel Of
the State and among white people,
Yes, but the trouble about that is he was
fed, not as a negro, but as a juryman.
Under similar circumstances Col. Smalls
of South Carolina was permitted to eat
in a Virginia hotel, but said if he could
not eat as a man and a negro he would
see the proprietor changed before he
would do it as q Congressman" He de.
clined to eat.

sPECIAL TO The sENTINEL.T
DUBLIN, Jan. 2S.-The people Of Achill

pie are watching day and night for his

The Boston Record says that "the
President has an odd way of going to the
theater." The oddity seems to consist in
his going without announcing his inten-
tion outside OF his w family, and in
proceeding quietly to the theater, with
his wife. We infer from this that the
custom has been for the President to get
out big circus posters when he was going
to the theater, and to march thither with
q torchlight procession and a brass band.

Texas Fresh Meats Landed In Fine
